[El Rojo]

3 wins out of 13 is absolutely pathetic.

 

Weak, weak mentality.

There is a big and growing problem here that clearly needs looking at - relegation form away from home is deeply worrying.

So 6 games later we improved on the away record  winning 3 of last 6, drawing 2 and losing 1  - but it is still an absolutely abysmal one, and it has completely killed us this season. 

 

If we had even been just half decent away from home we would have secured a top 4 place.

 

Final away record:

 

PL 19

W 6

D 5

L 8

GS 29

GC 30

GD -1

PTS 23

 

6 fucking away wins and a negative GD - Bournemouth won 5...

 

Home record by contrast!

If Diaz doesn't miss 21 games and Jota 16 we would have comfortably made it, even with the poor away record.

[TheBitch]

I blame @Liverpool lad

[joe_fishfish]

That fucking swirly kit is to blame.

[coachpotato]

Apparently, we never occupied a top four place at any time during the season.

Staggering that after what happened in the previous season.

 

[George Costanza]

Defensively we have been a shambles this season.  Its actually been worse than the results show.  We've given up so many excellent scoring chances virtually every game, we are so easy to pass through.  If it wasn't for Alisson we'd have finished mid-table.

[Liverpool lad]

As someone who went to all 38 league games this season and the season before my opinion matters more so I post in bold

 

Injuries have not helped us. Brentford, Palace, Brighton we definitely missed that pace in the left forward position. Teams can come out a bit more without the threat in behind

OK it is a small sample still and of course what happened at Tottenham was a joke....but our away form in league is not great so far this season again.

 

9 pts from 6 games - not won any of our last 3 - only won 2 of the 6 we have played away.

 

Next up away Abu Dhabi...

 

 

[aws]

Last season we were losing regularly away, so far (excluding Spurs) we’ve been either winning or drawing so a big improvement even if not good enough to get 90 points plus. 

[Megadrive Man]

We have had a pretty tough set of away fixtures though.

 

Our opening seven away games are against teams that are 1st, 2nd, 6th, 7th, 10th, 14th and 17th in the league. 

Luton is the only result that feels like a really poor result.

It’s a small sample as you say, and the refs cost us the Spurs game. Brighton we should have closed out - will never understand Robertson not clearing the ball for their second goal - and Luton we were shit. 
 

Would be astonished if we got anything away against Abu Dhabi but that’s the hardest fixture of the season for any team who goes there.

 

I don’t think a title challenge was ever on the cards for this season and I think we’ve improved our away form enough to finish top four.

[an tha]

We are certainly looking better than last season - we'll of course see how it pans out as season progresses.

 

As it stands i'd be surprised if we aren't top 4 this season and reasonably comfortably - whether we have a title challenge in us is another story - probably going to need a 90 pt season to do that and that is of course a big ask - but we are heading in the right direction again I feel - just don't want this away form to become a problem again...

We should also have been 2-1 up and playing the 2nd half against 10 men at Brighton, but, y'know, Anthony Fucking Taylor.

Talking of Anthony Taylor
